Why financial literacy?

In the U.S., we have a hard time living within (or even under) our means. In fact, the status quo is to buy more than you can afford. The ēCO Credit Union Foundation has learned that many families cannot get out of debt because they have never been financially educated. That's why we are here. We want to help.

Financial SeminarsWe believe that financial education begins in the classroom. So, we provide resources to equip teachers to educate their students at all ages and levels. We will also provide seminars to adult groups, too!

Community EventsAs a local nonprofit located in Birmingham, AL, we are passionate about being present in our community, especially when it comes to financial literacy. Our events include everything from meal planning classes to real-world financial training for high school students.
